Description:
This project series documents planning for the redevelopment of Minaki Lodge in Minaki, Ontario in 1974. The office identified the project number as 7415. The Minaki Lodge, owned by the Government of Ontario at the time of this project, was located on the banks of the Winnipeg River and was originally built in 1914 by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. This project consisted of the planning for a major redevelopment of the lodge, its surrounding buildings, and the adjacent land by Minaki Lodge Resorts Ltd. This project proposed two phases of renovations and additions to the main lodge, the motor lodge and power house, the ski chalet and Holst Point on a nearby island. Most of the renovations would be done to the main lodge, including the construction of a new convention hall and approximately 200 additional guest rooms. The realization of these projects can be found under different project numbers assigned by the office (see project series AP018.S1.1974.PR17 and AP018.S1.1974.PR18 in this fonds).

Description:
This project series documents the design of Cité Collégiale in Ottawa, Ontario from in 1991. The project number assigned by the office is unidentifiable. This project consisted of a competition entry for the first French language community college to be built in Ontario. The design proposed focused on the balance between the natural landscape of the site, located on Montreal Road at Aviation Parkway, the rigor of the study program and the relaxation of student life. Large wooded areas surrounding the campus would be preserved and four functional outdoor spaces would be created: La Place des Festivals (an esplanade), the theatre (for outdoor festivities), Le Carrefour des Étudiants (the student square), and le Foyer (next to the cafeteria). The campus also proposed la Grande Galerie, a triple-height space filled with natural light to serve as the main area where students could meet and study. Two types of school buildings were included in the proposal, consisting of a long, rectangular building for classrooms and offices, and the other, a less formal, open space with classrooms, amphitheatres, studios and laboratories. The scheme had two main entrances, with a large central tower that was visible when arriving from either direction. This was not the winning entry for the competition and the campus was eventually built by Brook, Brisbin and Baynon. The project is recorded through drawings, presentation paintings and a model dating from 1991. The drawings include site condition maps, sketches, perspectives, plans, elevations, axonometric drawings and presentation panels.
